| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Took my truck back to the dealer on 2/22/01 for engine light that came on. they replaced a leaky fuel cap and engine light went off. told them when i call for service about the 2nd -3rd shift that was slipping in the transmission. the could not find what i was speaking of the first time. the second time i took it back for the same reason they then said that mitsubishi had a letter stating that there was a problem with the 2nd - 3rd shift. the called the tech line and no one new what to do with the vehicle. they in turn wanted me to pay for a tranny flush, i refused telling them i had been instructed by a mechanic friend that this is not the problem, so i did not have that done. to boot they wanted me to pay for this (80.00).!! when i called again about my vechicle doing the same thing i told them i did not feel the vehicle was safe to drive because driving a damaged transmission was not good, the told me that i was in no danger. the third time, they instructed me mitsubishi could do nothing else to help me and i had to pick up the vehicle immediately. so now i am driving a possible damaged transmission and who knows what else will happen. i would like to request and investigation into this, the mechanic at the dealership told me other vehicles(montero's) have been doing the same thing as well not just mine. i believe this is mitsubishi's responsiblity to fix this even if it means a new transmission!! if you would like to talk further on this problem please feel free to contact me at the given numbers. thanks and have a great day. --- concerned consumer |
